As a WWIIOL player (axis), I can honestly say I flipping hate that damn tank!

Give us our AP40 back!

That tank was useless in RL. The turret held only one man who had to load, aim, and fire the 47mm gun. Unfortunatly in addition to his gun firing duties this man was also the tank commander. So either the tank had no commander or it had no antitank gun. The 75mm in the hull was a terrible low velocity HE affair with minimal traverse.


Truly a useless overweight immobile pice of toejam.


The Somua, although it shared the same awful turret layout, was a much more useful and better tank design.

GH, this tank was the first one that Germans couldn't kill with standard AT guns. The first time they had to use flaks against tanks.
